How to Make a Pensioner

And now it has come - another vital "watershed". From tomorrow you become a pensioner. Do not be afraid anymore that they will cut it down and will not let it finish. Do not go up a bit and run to work. It seems that this is happiness. The rest of life (or as some wise person called it "the period of survival") can be lived for fun.

But it was not there! According to official statistics (which, as everybody knows, "knows everything"), 60% of Russian pensioners are forced to work after leaving for a well-deserved rest. And they do it not for the love of work. Having worked all his life for the welfare of the state (most of today's pensioners began their working life even in the Soviet Union) and having received from this state a "generous" pension of 7-8 thousand rubles, the pensioner is forced to look for a way to make a living.

How to earn a pensioner ? At first glance, this is not very difficult. There have always existed such traditionally "pension" professions as janitors, nannies, ticket distributors, concierges, cloakroom attendants, tutors, sellers of newspapers and magazines. But this is only at first glance.

The only segment of the Russian economy where modern "reformers" managed to really create a competitive environment was the labor market. Here, the competition for middle-aged and not very healthy people is made up of students, school leavers, visitors from former "brotherly" republics.

It is not easy for an elderly person to win in such a competitive struggle. And if we take into account that the attitude of employers towards pensioners differs little from the attitude of the state, the picture becomes completely bleak. Most vacancies are occupied by younger applicants.

It seems that the answer to the question "How to earn a pensioner" is no answer. In this seemingly desperate situation, there is a real opportunity to receive additional income. This is earnings on the Internet.

The most affordable job for a pensioner can be a copywriter's job. Or, simply put, earnings on writing articles. Some kind of special special knowledge does not require this kind of earnings. Retired people even have certain advantages. Unlike young people, most elderly people have read books since childhood. Therefore, they have a "sense of language" and a rich vocabulary.

Get the necessary technical knowledge can be on computer courses for the elderly, which every day becomes more and more. Alternatively, you can organize a "joint venture" with your grandchildren: Grandmother writes, and the grandson sells.

Unfortunately, most of our pensioners do not even know about this opportunity to make a living.
